Murray Downland Trust

This blog was created to provide information about the conservation work of the Murray Downland Trust in the counties of Sussex and Hampshire. It provides a forum for open discussion and makes available details of our conservation work parties which run throughout the winter months. We look forward to your contributions ...

The Trust came into being in 1994. Its objectives are to rescue and enhance neglected areas of unimproved chalk downland in the counties of Sussex and Hampshire, revealing their richness in terms of the species of flora and fauna present. Five reserves are currently under their stewardship. These are Buriton Down (Hampshire), and Under Beacon, The Devil's Jumps, Heyshott Down and Heyshott Escarpment (West Sussex). All reserves are located within the South Downs National Park.

The Trust also cares for several Scheduled Ancient Monuments within its reserves, including the nationally important Bronze Age barrows and cross dykes on Heyshott Down.
